Because if my imports or exports fail (just like user defined tables with nested arrays or OO tables) because of these I'm going to be pissed. RMAN isn't widely used with other database systems within my company, and we're already having to deal with other systems wanting to hand us datapump exports when our models aren't scheduled to go to 10g until next year.
That's why I am concerned. There's other table types that break import/export, if I can get an assurance that this isn't one of them , then fine. B

Jeez. This was on the news what 3 day ago? Anyway.. I don't know if this is an up and coming theonion.com but here it is - a pretty twisted article about how the Yakuza & the KGB are behind it. I give the article 4 stars just based on the WTF factor alone.
Kodak is a good company to look at in this regard... Here's a forbes article.. Good summary - Despite the massive job losses, Kodak has managed to save some of its film plants by converting them to produce emerging technologies with its film emulsification know-how. It remains to be seen if the film can be adapted for other uses. It goes to mention how Kodak currently dominates the the US digital camera market with a 23.8% share.
Kodak's going through some massive growth problems that's for sure.
Here's the best part - "One specific challenge with Firefox and Opera is identifying which Web addresses have been entered manually as opposed to having been clicked on in a hyperlink"..
Cmon.. any advanced porn^H^H^H^H surfer knows to go to google, enter the url and click through google's url. That way you don't have a suspicious empty dropdown bar and you can simply delete the url and google's search url) from the history and for all intents and purposes, you never went there (just dump the cache).
I guess these guys were never married. Simply having an attentive wife teaches you that FED defeating trick. The location dropdown bar and autocomplete can be a lot of trouble.
disclaimer- My wife's a chef at a 5-diamond restaurent and she spices her food appropriately and everything rocks. I think that us americans over spice and generally go crazy with trying to add too much flavor. Lighten up a bit on the spice ( here comes the "lips acquire stains" jokes) and try detecting subtle flavors or better combinations. I don't know why people insist on nuking foods with cayenne or pouring texas pete on everything. -B
The approach we took was to collect an initial list of 5000+ potentially malicious URLs by doing a Web search for Windows "hosts" files [HF] that are used to block advertisements and bad sites, and lists of known-bad Web sites that host some of the most malicious spyware programs
Kinda like testing condoms with hookers.. only your condom is made by MS...
"In other words, a labor website picked this up, twisted it to mean something that it didn't by taking it WAYYYY overboard"
Okay re-read this please- The judge also concluded that the Respondent did not violate the Act by maintaining a work rule that directs employees not to "fraternize on duty or off duty, date[,] or become overly friendly with the client's employees or with co-employees."...... "That being so, we believe that employees would reasonably understand the rule to prohibit only personal entanglements, rather than activity protected by the Act" - Fraternization with co-employees is off limits....
I think that whatever spin was put on the article is damn straight on. Our workplace has a STRICT no dating policy and if a couple is caught, someone's going to be leaving. Occasionally you'll hear about a couple getting married, one person leaving with a nice severance package because fraternization is verboten.
I don't necessarily approve of the "no fraternization" laws being upheld but I can understand why these things are in place. It's at the employer's discretion. I also don't think that it's any employer's business whatsoever unless the relationship affects the business in a detrimental way.
Just WHERE does the fraternization section say "in uniform"? Please correct me. I thought I was off the hook when I read your "in uniform" bit, but I always double check for this exact reason.
FYFL-
The judge also concluded that the Respondent did not violate the Act by maintaining a work rule that directs employees not to "fraternize on duty or off duty, date[,] or become overly friendly with the client's employees or with co-employees." The judge reasoned that such a rule "does not on its face, or by reasonable implication, pre-clude activities protected by the Act." The General Counsel excepts, arguing that employees reasonably would understand the rule to prohibit activity protected by Section 7.
We find no merit to this exception. The Respondent's rule is somewhat similar to a work rule we reviewed in Lafayette Park Hotel, supra, and found lawful. There, the employer's rule mandated that "[e]mployees are not allowed to fraternize with hotel guests anywhere on hotel property." 326 NLRB at 825. We concluded that the rule was lawful because employees would not reasonably read "this rule as prohibiting protected employee com-munications . . . about terms and conditions of employ-ment." Id. at 827. Although the Respondent's rule is not identical to the one in Lafayette Park Hotel, we find that any differences between the rules are not material and do not warrant a different outcome here. Contrary to our dissenting colleague, we do not believe that the Respondent's rule would reasonably tend to chill protected employee activity. The Respondent's proscrip-tion against fraternization appears alongside proscrip-tions on "dat[ing,] or becom[ing] overly friendly with the client's employees or with co-employees." That being so, we believe that employees would reasonably under-stand the rule to prohibit only personal entanglements, rather than activity protected by the Act. In our view, it would be an unreasonable stretch for an employee to infer that speaking to others about terms and conditions of employment is a "fraternization" that is condemned by the rule. As in Lutheran Heritage Village, our dissenting colleague continues to advocate finding a violation where an employee could possibly perceive a conflict between a rule and protected activity. We, instead, limit the Board's reach to rules, unlike this one, where an em-ployee would reasonably perceive such a conflict.
We recognize that the rule in Lafayette Park Hotel prohibited fraternization with guests, while the rule here prohibits fraternization with client employees or coem-ployees. However, in context, the rule here is reasonably understood as prohibiting personal entanglements, rather than activity protected by the Act. Moreover, as the judge noted and our dissenting col-league ignores, the Respondent's rule is designed "to provide safeguards so that security will not be compro-mised by interpersonal relationships either between Re-spondent's fellow security guards or between Respon-dent's security guards and clients' employees." Given those heightened security concerns, we think the Re-spondent's justification for its fraternization rule is even stronger than that of the employer in Lafayette Park Ho-tel, where we concluded that a fraternization rule was a proper means for preventing the "appearance of favorit-ism, claims of sexual harassment, and employee dissen-sion created by romantic relationships in the workplace." 326 NLRB at 827 fn.
Yeah it makes sense if your enterprise distribution is Win2k - Nothing like re-imaging 1000+ computers with XP to run IE7.
I'd rather have the web-developers chained in the burn room and have them perform the imaging to show them what they've accomplished by making IE only pages.
Check out Pan (available on almost all platforms) here. Pan has been dormant for almost a year - it's in the process of being resurrected, but It's a damn good newsreader that supports yEnc. Plus it supports plonking;)
I actually found this atom bomb instruction set to be a little more detailed. Any instructions that include
"Please remember that Plutonium, especially pure, refined Plutonium, is somewhat dangerous. Wash your hands with soap and warm water after handling the material, and don't allow your children or pets to play in it or eat it."
or "Now hide the completed device from the neighbors and children. The garage is not recommended because of high humidity and the extreme range of temperatures experienced there. Nuclear devices have been known to spontaneously detonate in these unstable conditions. The hall closet or under the kitchen sink will be perfectly suitable."
definately have the end user in mind. It's these thoughtful tips that make this probably the best DIY WMD kit!/sarcasm>
I love the way this stuff gets translated. "Fubon Securities today smoothly unloaded"... "Fubon Securities said that immediately after the undesirable error occurred"..... "If including the increased earnings in June caused by an upturn in stock turnover"...
I can kinda see how this happened

Comcast gets a 6 - I'd give them a 5 but their speeds help me forget the fact that they had a nationawide DNS outage, their DHCP servers go down almost 1 weekend a month, their web interface is too heavy on shockwave, and their tech support is asinine. -B
Heh.. These accounts (non-priv / non-admin) are my corporations's default and it's an interesting battle trying to get admin privs on a local machine (need them to test several software packages we distribute). I've found that requesting an install of Adobe Photoshop will get admin privs easier than getting a piece of paper signed by immediate manager, department head, reviewed by IS, and various other sign offs.
I'm a Gentoo user at home and I'm too used to being able to modify my system to suit my needs. Some of these "need admin to run" programs are actually a nice way to get privelidge escalation without all the bureaucracy involved.

As an aside from the Cal Tech / MIT pranks - I've found a Yale hack/prank that's simply fucking awesome.
On November 20, 2004 at the 121st Yale-Harvard game, 20 Elis donned custom made "Harvard Pep Squad" t-shirts, applied enemy-red war paint on their faces, and set out to pull a prank on 1800 Harvard alumni. Like clockwork, these brave Elis proceeded to exude more Harvard spirit than any Cantab ever... tossing t-shirts to the lucky and unsuspecting few, and passing out 1800 sheets of red & white construction paper in perfect order to the cheering Harvard crowd. With 4:47 minutes left in the second quarter of the game, each member of the crowd raised their sheet of paper expecting to spell out "Go Harvard" as they were told by the cheering "Harvard Pep Squad." Instead, the truth was revealed to a laughing crowd of YALE alumni and students who saw the Harvard crowd spell out in clear red letters"WE SUCK."
Harvard just needed a little help expressing their true school spirit. A tight-knit crew of Elis led by Mike Kai and David Aulicino (PC '05) made sure it happened.
Speaking of toys - I found this on Thinkgeek.com and it's a perfect for your favorite mathematician. " If A Pretty Poster And A Cute Saying Are All It Takes To Motivate You, You Probably Have A Very Easy Job. The Kind Robots Will Be Doing Soon.". Seems very apropos....
In case you've never seen this before - Here's Maddox's suggestion to CompUSA in order to help them become a better store. Yes he does rant on rebates..;)
